Kabam has always said the the reel you see is JUST a animation. It doesn't matter if you see the champ go by or not, since it is made with the same concept as slot machines.There is no such thing as a troll roll, or I could have had ___ champ instead when a better champ is on the left or right of the one you got! The moment you stick the crystal in the spinner, the game already knows (and your alliance already knows) what champ you will get, doesn't matter if you let it spin or stop it yourself, the crystal has already been picked by the server.
